Life story

Margaret Florence Cheek was born September 3rd 1921 in Brookfield Missouri. She married Earl Cheek on March 23rd 1938 in Missouri and together they had 5 kids, Max, Martha, Buck, Mike and Randy. And her family only grew, Margaret ended up having 8 grandkids, 14 great grand kids and 9 great great grand children and it only continues to grow. Margaret dedicated her life to her children and grandchildren, they are what brought her absolute pure joy. She loved to go for car rides, listen to Elvis, watch wrestling, she cherished when winter turned to spring and the flowers would bloom and the trees would regain color and most of all she loved to hang out with all of her babies, old and young. She was a profound cook and often showed her love for others by making their favorite dish. She had the biggest and warmest personality but would always let you know if you made the shit list that week. An extraordinary woman who lives a long wonderful 101 years.
